    Silkie thread!

    See Anatolians were originally bred in Turkey to protect their livestock from wolves, and actually they would not give their dogs a metal spiked collar to protect them UNTIL they've killed a large predator such as a wolf, so if the dog got killed they figured it wasn't a good enough dog, which...

    I have 5 Anatolians, and 1 Pyrenees, I've also had several Anatolian/pyrenees crosses. I prefer Anatolians, I've found they are more protective (people wise) and I have to shave my Pyr. every summer because of the heat... But they are both fantastic breeds. I always have mine in pairs, because I...

    Duck Breed Focus - Muscovy

    Awe sad that you had to get rid of some! Maybe you'll be able to keep more when you fence that other area!

    Wanted: Eggs from Jumbo Cornish Rock Hens

    If we separated them and collected eggs now, most would be only 1/4 CX's versus waiting about 3 weeks and having 1/2 CX's

    Wanted: Eggs from Jumbo Cornish Rock Hens

    Happy Birthday! It will take around three weeks too get the "fatty fatty" eggs, because we have to separate them fro, the general flock, and then we'll figure out the price of the eggs and all. And I don't know if you've seen my thread bu they are white with black splashes, some pure white. The...

    I live on a 32 acre farm so I don't have to worry about the town regulations, and I was thinking about doing about 3 ft deep? And I would like for all of them to be able to go into it if they want to.

    We could do it, but we free range all of our chickens together so we would have to separate the fatty fatties so you'd get the pure fatty fatties, but you could by some local "backyard mix" eggs just to test your incubator and we can still figure out the fatty fattie eggs if you're still interested.

    Wanted: Eggs from Jumbo Cornish Rock Hens

    About hatching the CX's- I crossed my CX hens with a Black Australorp roo, the offspring was terrific they grew faster than average chickens (Not as fast as the pure CX's) and were MUCH healthier than the pure CX's but the hatch rate was extremely low... But we kept around 30-40 of our crosses...
